If you have a keyboard, Q zooms in and A zooms out.
If you have a scroll/thumb wheel, it should zoom in and out too.

The on-screen controls are not great, but they do exist. Some icons would be 
nicer.
Options/View/Controls toggles whether on-screen controls are active.
When active, you will see four thin lines dividing the screen into upper 
corners, lower corners, upper, lower, left, right, and center sections.

Both upper corners act the same, zooming in.
Both lower corners act the same, zooming out.
Tapping a section along an edge pans the display in that direction. 
Unfortunately this gesture is easily confused with dragging to pan.

I have not put a lot of effort into the on-screen controls because I usually 
use directional hard buttons and scroll wheel to pan and zoom or I pan by 
dragging.

I am marking this as Accepted because the on-screen controls should be improved 
even though they do currently work.
